One day, a beautiful little girl walks into a toy store. She’s sad because yesterday she was picked on. It’s difficult for others to see how lovely she is because she’s a bit different. She was born with a rare disease that makes her special. All she really wants in the world is a true friend. This particular toy store is filled with special teddy bears that are made with old jeans instead of fur. They are all shades of blue—all except one. Among the many jean bears is a unique bear of many colors. It’s the rare jean bear, and it might be just what this singular little girl is looking for. In The Rare Jean Bear, author and patient advocate for those with Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia speaks directly to the emotional needs of children dealing with rare disease. This warm, understanding short story was written to help your little ones practice reading while being reminded that they are special and loved.

The book analyzes how three political movements used the concept of culture in France between the late 1960s and the early 1980s: the women's liberation movement, “immigrant” movements, and a far-right movement around the group GRECE. What did culture mean to the movements and when and why did they use the concept? The book discusses intellectual labor beyond well-known thinkers in both the practice and the theory of political activists. It helps readers understand the high-brow debates around the culture wars and the cultural turn as part of a larger societal trend that surpasses the academic field. It offers historical explanations beyond academia because of its focus on primary sources from quotidian political struggles. Two contexts shaped concepts of culture in society more broadly. First, decolonization as an intellectual and political development redefined political key concepts such as culture. Second, change through culture replaced earlier visions in which the state was seen as the central instrument for political change. Methodologically, the book treats political movements as production sites of concepts, thereby, connecting intellectual history with political and social history.
